[digiKam-users] Searching unconfirmed face recognition results

[Shimao]

I do see the People sidebar, but that doesn't let me search for example,
pictures containing persons Emily, David, and Charles, or pictures
containing Emily and David, but not Claire. That seems only possible from
the search tool, but only if i've first tagged everything.
